Hartnell has been going after Kunitz and Letang for years, so I am not surprised the way he reacted. I’m sure the league will look at it, but even if he is out a game or two, it was definitely worth it. That was a hell of a slash on Rinaldo though. Could happen to a nicer guy…

Of all the guys, it would be him. The way the Pens dominated the 2nd….ugh. Oh well. Really glad they got 5 of 6 from Thursday to Sunday and now the control of the division/conference is in their own hands. Hopefully they take their frustration out on Winnipeg and go from there.

Hartnell is such an idiot, and not to mention, a pussy. Anyone who didn’t catch the Bruins/Flyers from this past Saturday…Hartnell backed down from 2 or 3 altercations that he initiated, but once the Bruin went back at him he skated right away and didn’t look back.

Heart breaking loss after playing well most of the game. Give credit to the Flyers for taking advantage of a couple of stupid penalties. Sucks to give Hartnell two goals though, but at least Kunitz gave him something for his trouble. This game underscores the biggest reason why the Pens need to catch the Rangers. We don’t want to face Philly in the 1st round. (I doubt they want to face the Pens, either though.)
